This sad man, growin up in Atlanta, Vick is still everybody’s hero….Wherever he end’s up I hope he listen’s to a good QB coach and ends up successful cause fact still remains, the Eagles gonna suck with him or without him
**************************************************

This opinion is prevalent in Atlanta’s black community, and other black communities too.

He was/is their hope. No matter what he did or will do, they’ll stand behind him because he’s from the same side of the tracks as they are.

It’s a sad story, these people should aim much higher than someone like Mike Vick.

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 08:40:53 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1571981#comment-2158943Michael Vick’s career has gone to the dogs. yes I remember when he was hailed as one of the greatest. He could not even shine the shoes of Aaron Rogers, Eli Manning, or Drew Brees. Hey I also remember that great QB class of 1983 with Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, John Elway (yes I am old:)). You even think Vick could light a candle to any of those guys? Not a chance!

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:14:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1571981#comment-2156797And thus begins the next (and final) phase of one of the more over-hyped and overrated athletes of our time.
In the mid-2000’s if the topic was “who are the best QB’s in the NFL,” the all-knowing NFL talking heads would tell us, Brady, Manning, Brett Favre, Michael Vick…
Wait, run that last name by me again?
Why exactly is he on that list?
Certainly not for his on-field achievements, which didn’t come close to matching the other three.
I’m not surprised in the least it ended the way it did for him in Philly. Truth is, he was an average, occasionally above average, QB. That’s it.

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:13:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1571981#comment-2156648I still can’t get over the fact that less than 2 years ago, announcers and writers were calling Vick ‘the greatest player in the history of the NFL’, ‘unstoppable’, ‘changing the way the QB position is played’ etc. It shows you to never take the ‘experts’ seriously again.

They rewarded his play with a ridiculous contract extension. They stuck with him, turnover after turnover and concussion after concussion. Vick should feel nothing but gratitude for how the Eagles have treated him.
I really wish none of the 31 other teams would sign this sorry excuse for a human being. But, some QB desperate franchise will give Vick a shot.

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:22:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1571981#comment-2156404How about this craziness: Reid/Vick to the Jets, Ryan to the Eagles. Vick may be a Ryan kind of guy, but it’s looking more and more like the Jets will dump Ryan after this disastrous season. Tebow would be smart to bail on the Jets, too, unless he likes riding the pine.

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 06:45:57 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1571981#comment-2156309If Micheal Vick was on an Eagles team with an All Pro offensive line and Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens and a great tight end to throw to like former 49ers Left Handed Quarterback Steve Young had, would he play better if he had that all around better team around him ? Dang right he would ! How can you blame everything on a Quarterback who is playing behind a horrible pass blocking offensive line and who has players like Desean “play when I want to play” Jackson on the team ?

If Micheal Vick does go to a different team in 2013 that has a great offensive line, and a few good or great receivers he will play well once again! You all will jump on the bandwagon once again! Just watch ! It’ll happen…

The inability or unwillingness to read defenses. A hero complex which stops him from protecting himself and keeps him from giving up on dead plays. What can this guy do for your football team??

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 03:14:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1571981#comment-2155999It was inevitable that Michael Sick would end up like this. Once his body gave out, which was certain with his playing style–he couldn’t escape the reality that he just isn’t intelligent enough to be a good, consistent player. It has been wonderful watching his “career” end this way. He is getting everything he deserves. Unfortunately, some team somewhere will be foolish enough to sign him for 2013.

He was never an NFL calibre QB, he ALWAYS got by with his world class athleticism. Guys who stand in the pocket and can read a defense will always be the most valuable type of QB in the NFL.

The guy has never been anything more than the black version of Tim Tebow (athletically speaking only). Vick has always been a gimmick even when with the Falcons. He is a running athlete, couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with his accuracy or read a defense. No team could ever win a SB with a QB like Vick. Getting older and without his speed, he has no other talent to rely on.
